**September 2019**

[AndreaDanger]

FP day today! Really happy with the availability everywhere and was able to get everything pretty much exactly when I had hoped. Great start to the morning here!

 

[LaDonna]

An update - and some hope! - for those doing FP. With only three park days, I was still able to get SDD (in the morning!) and two 7DMT FP. Yay! Pixie dust for all of your FP!

Oooh this is hopeful, so u got sdd 60+3 or less??? And morning wow! My hs day is 60+2 so im nervous

Did you already cancel? If not, I'd love to try to coordinate bc that would work perfectly for my group!

I have not cancelled yet! Today was my FP booking day, so I wanted to take care of that first! Send me a message and we can coordinate! I really hope it works out!!

Fastpasses made!!! Got everything we wanted within 20-30 min of my original touring plan, except 7DMT and Peter Pan on our first day (60+1) Had to book those for later in the afternoon, which means we'll start out in Adventureland and work back to Fantasyland. I know that's reccommended anyway, but I feel like I need to start in Fantasyland By the time I was done, all FP for Splash Mountain and Peter Pan were gone for that day.

Peter Pan was by far the most difficult to modify for a decent time. We are in MK for 2 full days and only got a morning on 60+4.

SDD was available for morning/afternoon/evening slots 60+5
FOP was available starting at 9:00 am 60+6 and 60+7.

No problems getting anything at Epcot. Good luck to everyone!!

I got SDD for 4 ppl at 11:40 am (morning-ish) on day 60+2. My strategy was to do our HS day first (SDD only), then MK to get 7DMT and SM. Then I went back to HS to finish. Good luck to you!

That was my plan to do my 60+2 for SDD first here’s hoping

Just finalized our plans for FP day on Tuesday. As it stands now we are not making any FP for HS and instead arriving at 5:30am to RD all we can and leave around 9 to go to AK. Are we crazy? Do you think we will be able to do SDD and ToT (Galaxies Edge would be a bonus not a necessity) without crazy waits? It’s a gamble since my 4 year olds favorite ride is SDD, but we don’t want to waste our FP in HS since most rides are now Tier 1.

Anyone else get the TP updates today for the week of the 22nd?

Im curious how they are predicting a drop to 3 at HS on Wednesday but a jump to a 9 and 8 for Thursday and Friday respectively. We were doing HS on Thursday but can still switch it to Wednesday if these predictions are accurate.

Interesting to see the differences from KtPs Crowd Calendar - for that week he has the Thursday as a 'Best' day and Friday as a 'Median' for crowds! Our HS day is the Thursday so I'm really hoping he turns out to be right

Just saw the Touring plans crowd update and color me confused. They have HS for our week, more crowded on Thursday. They decreased the weekend levels to like 4 and 5. That doesn’t seem right to me.

DW and I will be there Sept 14-24. BWV

Added to roll call!

So is anyone doing HHN at Universal while there? This is something we've never done but thinking of adding it for the 15th. Of course that means I'll be rearranging stuff but since I don't plan on using all the FP's we made and only have one ADR it's not a big deal lol!

I just decided to buy tickets for DH and our 12 yo. Now I am trying to plan what I am doing with the 10yo and 3 yo that night. Toyed with the idea of MNSSHP but not sure I am feeling it.

Have you ever been? DH LOVED HHN and is amped it starts when we are there this trip.

Does TP explain their predictions? Or reasons for the change specifically? At this point without an explanation it is hard to see anyone's guess having more merit than anyone else's. But it is fun to guess lol

I have not! I've done MNSSHP 6x and am doing it again on my work trip in Oct. but have not ventured to Universal during any of our Disney trips that have coincided with HHN. It's definitely right up my alley though so I think this year we're going to do it

Yeah they explain: https://touringplans.com/blog/2019/07/01/july-2019-wdw-cc-updates/

But their explanations are “we guessed too high the last 3 months, so we’re lowering now” and “Disneyland isn’t crowded so HS probably won’t be either.” Hope they’re right lol!

Man I'm getting bummed! Cannot get an ADR for Story Book Dining at Artist Point with Snow White. Nothing comes up for our dates Aug 27-Sep 4. Waiting for TP and MD to buzz my phone.

Story Book has been our most challenging ADR this trip as well. TP came through but we have our party of 6 split across two reservations at the moment. Hopefully to get something more favorable the day before.

We're there the 15th - 21st celebrating our 25th Anniversary and our first vacation without any of the 4 kids.
All the FP worked our really well except FOP which I couldn't get anything except for 2:00 on that Friday.
Had to change around a bunch of dining reservations but thank goodness for the *********** website... I was able to get everything we wanted within a couple of days.

So much fun with no kids in tow, well young kids.

We're so excited to be able to have the vacation for just the two of us. We've taken the kids a few times and they just don't have the same feeling about Disney that we do.

I know the feeling. We burnt our kids out on Disney. We took them the first time when they were 8 months old. By about 16 yo they were no longer interested. So DW and I go by ourselves now. It’s an expensive vacation if they don’t enjoy it. And it’s so fun to go by ourselves.
